Rural Finance Authority Programs

Share

F & M Community Bank is proud to offer our well-deserving agricultural clients with an additional source of funding. We work closely with the Rural Finance Authority (RFA) to secure budget-friendly financing that might not be available to a growing operation otherwise.

Benefit from a wide range of financing programs, each for different purposes with unique criteria, including restructure, livestock expansion, disaster recovery, and more. We love nothing more than seeing our agriculture clients and the local community succeed. Speak with an F & M representative about whether your operation is eligible for one of these loans today.

In general, a borrower must be the principal operator of a farm who is also (1) a Minnesota resident, (2) a member of a family-owned and -operated farm corporation, or (3) a member of a family-owned and -operated farm partnership. Beyond these general requirements, many programs have their own eligibility rules. To focus support on smaller beginning farmers, several programs limit eligibility to those whose net worth falls below an inflation-adjusted threshold.
